Topic watch e-mails update - Aquarium Advice

fishfreek · 11-23-2003, 04:51 PM

As some of you might have discovered for the last week or so for some reason some people have been getting notification e-mails to topics that they are not watching nor that they had posted in.

In an effort to try to track down a possible solution to this bug I have removed ALL topic watch flags as of 4:45pm today. Any new posts you make should be flagged as a watched topic but any existing post prior to the 4:45 time is no longer flagged as being watched.

HOpefully this will solve the problem as we made no changes in the notification or watch topic code in many weeks so im not sure where or how this bug cropped up.

I think you might have solved it. I checked my email prior to signing on and didn't get any watched post notifications...been getting quite a few of them before this though.

So far I have not been auto subscribed to any threads I haven't posted in.

Time will only tell. For some reason we had over 100,000 entries in the topics watch table of the database. I think the data got corrput somehow in that table.
